Our Creator God and How to Reveal Him to Our Children!

Being out in God's creation is something very close to my heart. Because I feel so overwhelmed by God's creative hand, I want to make sure my children can experience our God in the same way. God's world is so full of small wonders that we can miss his expressions of love if we do not take time to experience them.

As mothers, it is our responsibility to get our children outside each day so that they can begin to see and experience God's amazing creation. Creation is all about God revealing himself to man and I want my children to develop a love for God revealed through creation at an early age.

The heavens declare the glory of God; and the firmament shows and proclaims His handiwork. Day after day pours forth speech and night after night pours forth knowledge.

Psalms 19:1-2

For ever since the creation of the world His invisible nature and attributes, that is, His eternal power and divinity, have been made intelligible and clearly discernible in and through the things that have been made(His handiworks). So men are without excuse

Roman 1:20

For creation waits expectantly and longs earnestly for God's sons to be made known.

Romans 8:19

I have decided to link to the Green Hour Challenge in my sidebar. If you are having trouble enjoying nature with your children this is a wonderful place to begin. We will begin doing the weekly challenge and posting about it soon.

Would you join me in sharing God with your children through nature? The notebook pages provided with this challenge will make recording your nature study time easy. When compiled in a notebook you will have a wonderful keepsake.

Take your digital camera along to document your nature walks in a scrapbook.

My Love

Chris and I have been married for 18 years. He is such a wonderful husband but what I love most is watching him be a daddy. He is our protector, provider, priest and prophet and I am forever grateful.

Six Little Quicks

Bo...the oldest

This is our oldest. He's a thinker...asks the hard questions. He loves legos...history...mom's homemade pizza...reading... fishing and hiking. He's our responsible young man. I know God created him for such a time as this and I can't wait to see his plan unfold.

Boo...10 years

This boy has a servant's heart. When I ask for help I know he'll say "sure". He enjoys working with his hands..helping his daddy work around the house makes his day. He loves legos...gardening...shooting his BB gun and hiking.

Miss LouLou...8 years

Miss LouLou is beautiful...independent...sweet...shy. She loves taking care of the younger ones. She holds baby brother and buries her face in his hair and just breathes...she loves his smell...and I love to watch her practice being a mommy. Now with a new sister she is getting more practice than ever. Although she insists she's not getting married...she's living with mommy and daddy forever;-)

Little Bitty...6 years

Little Bitty is giggles and fire and sneaky and cute. She brings laughter and love and snuggles to our day. She's daddy's best buddy and cries when mommy leaves the room...but as soon as she calms down she finds something to get her hands into;-)

Nayna...4years

Nayna is huggable...loveable...and rather loud too. She makes us laugh. She and rooster are best buddies and can make each other scream too. She is already sounding out words and writing them and showing interest in learning to read. No one else has shown an interest at such a young age.

Rooster...3 years

Sweet baby boy...I love to bury my nose in his hair and just breathe...I love to kiss those cheeks dripping with sugar...I love to get a smile from him first thing in the morning...I love the way he reminds me of a fresh start...He is growing in independence and he loves to talk!

"Thank you for letting Jesus in our home." -Bo 3 years

"He settles the barren womanin her homeas the happy mother of children."Praise the Lord!"Psalms 113:9

"Let me repeat, that I venture to suggest, not what is practicable in any household, but what seems to me absolutely best for the children; and that, in the faith that mothers work wonders once they are convinced that wonders are demanded of them."-Charlotte Mason
